Entertainment Device Registration

Your Xbox, PlayStation, Apple TV, Roku, Smart TV, or other streaming device will require an extra step in order to connect to network on campus.

Disclaimers

Wireless printers are not supported. Please connect your device directly to them via USB.

TCL Fire TVs at first will need to be connected to a hotspot in order to obtain the MAC address.

Hatch Alarms are not supported.

If you need more Ethernet ports than are available in your room, use an Ethernet switch. (Do not use a router, as it will cause network issues)

How to Connect Your Device

You will need to register your device’s MAC address (wired or wireless, depending on connection type) at registermydevice.olivet.edu in order to connect your entertainment devices. | Need help finding your MAC address?
Register My Device

Ethernet (best performance)

  1. Find your device’s wired MAC address (not the wireless one). Here’s how.

  2. Connect your device to the Ethernet port in your room.

  3. On your computer or mobile device connected to ONUnet (Olivet ethernet or the WiFi network named “ONU”) visit registermydevice.olivet.edu.

  4. Log in with your ONUnet credentials. (This is your username without @olivet.edu.)

  5. Create a device entry and enter the wired MAC address. 

WiFi via “ONU-IoT”

  1. Find your device’s wireless MAC address (not the wired one). Here’s how.

  2. On your computer or mobile device connected to ONUnet (Olivet ethernet or the WiFi network named “ONU”), visit registermydevice.olivet.edu.

  3. Log in with your ONUnet credentials. (This is your username without @olivet.edu.)

  4. Create a device entry and enter the wireless MAC address. 

    • For Apple TV Sharing (Ethernet only): While registering, check “Enable AirGroup” and add your friends’ ONUnet usernames (without @olivet.edu.) so they can connect to your Apple TV.

  5. Upon registration, you will receive a system-generated password. This password can be used to connect the device to the "ONU-IoT" network.
    • The password would only work for the device MAC address that you registered. It cannot be used with other devices.
    • This password can be found under Manage Devices in the ONU-IoT Password column.
